Kurume is a prominent city in southern Fukuoka Prefecture, surrounded by fertile farmland and scenic waterways. Thanks to its rich natural environment, the area is known for producing an abundance of fresh, high-quality agricultural products. But Kurume is perhaps most famous for being the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen—one of Japan’s most iconic and beloved noodle dishes. The story of tonkotsu ramen began here over 80 years ago, when a happy accident in a local ramen shop led to the creation of the now-famous cloudy pork bone broth. Since then, Kurume has been recognized as a culinary hub, especially for ramen lovers, attracting foodies from across Japan and beyond. With its deep-rooted food culture and welcoming local spirit, Kurume offers a perfect blend of tradition, flavor, and history.
